October 10, 20178 yr Those trees ..... anyone else notice they are 2D like cardboard cut outs? The colours are good though.

I'm waiting DTG starts improving the terrain to see what they will do to the trees. 9800X3D@H150i // Msi RTX 5090 Trio OC // 64GB DDR5 6000mhz CL30 // 2TB + 1TB Nvme Dell 27" 2127DGF - 1440p - Gsync - 165hz Thrustmaster TCA Sidestick Airbus // TCA Quadrant Airbus // TFRP T.Flight Rudder Pedals // Logitech Flight Multi Panel
October 10, 20178 yr https://www.turbulentdesigns.co.uk/product/terraflora/ I use it in P3Dv4 and there a video on You Tube by none other than Rob Ainscough . Raymond Fry.
October 10, 20178 yr Author Hi rjfry. Are you saying they are better in your P3Dv4 than FSW? I think that in Big Bear scenery they remind me of the trees and buildings in Virtual Sailor from 1999.

I think that in Big Bear scenery they remind me of the trees and buildings in Virtual Sailor from 1999. Thats very harsh. The artwork in the TerraFlora trees is actually pretty good, especially across the seasons. However the tech is ancient and badly needs updating. I've mentioned it befiore but MS Flight 3D trees with PBR would be the way forward instead of trying to shoehorn some form of mocked up SpeedTree like system which will just kill performance.
October 11, 20178 yr Author Did not mean to be harsh. The colours are great, they are just too 2d for me.

Play the video on the page, it shows that the trees are country specific, I would say they are better than ORBX in P3Dv4 as I have both and in my neck of the woods, the UK they look better.

October 11, 20178 yr Well, I think the more they modernize the simulator, the more legacy scenery stuff will need to be changed. 2D trees and box autogen are the things I hate the most. Why implement PBR in the scenery and keep those old and ungly autogen objects? But I understand they have a small staff working on FSW right now. I would be happy if they fixed the colors and brightness of the sim and got rid of the blurry textures. The rest of scenery improvements I can wait. 9800X3D@H150i // Msi RTX 5090 Trio OC // 64GB DDR5 6000mhz CL30 // 2TB + 1TB Nvme Dell 27" 2127DGF - 1440p - Gsync - 165hz Thrustmaster TCA Sidestick Airbus // TCA Quadrant Airbus // TFRP T.Flight Rudder Pedals // Logitech Flight Multi Panel

Early in the video when they were rotating the view at altitude, the large patches of trees looked quite nice.
October 12, 20178 yr Author Just out of curiosity I flew in my other simulator this morning Aerofly FS2. I noticed that from above they too have the 2d cardboard effect in their trees. Maybe all simulators are similar? Sort of surprising given it is 2017 and these are new products.

Yeah, all simulators have 2D trees. P3D has the speed trees as an option, but they look really bad from the air and have a very low density (you will see big holes with no autogen trees). I really hope DTG will take a look on the scenery in general (including trees, autogen and scenery objects). 9800X3D@H150i // Msi RTX 5090 Trio OC // 64GB DDR5 6000mhz CL30 // 2TB + 1TB Nvme Dell 27" 2127DGF - 1440p - Gsync - 165hz Thrustmaster TCA Sidestick Airbus // TCA Quadrant Airbus // TFRP T.Flight Rudder Pedals // Logitech Flight Multi Panel
October 12, 20178 yr When they are in a fully functioning sim, at ground level the 2D trees will rotate toward the viewer so that you always see them in profile. You never see that they are cross-shaped until you are directly above them. Anyway I'm sure all of the current autogen and vector scenery in FSW are merely placeholder objects, waiting until the FSW Scenery SDK is released. Tim Wright "The older I get, the better I was..."
October 12, 20178 yr Author Thanks guys. Always learning something. I honestly thought it was just this sim at first.
